We will be meeting via Zoom on Saturday the 20th at 10. We will be discussing the virtual national convention which will be taking place from July 14-18. If you would like to participate, you must register by EOD tomorrow, as it closes then. You may do so at www.nfb.org/registration In our meeting, we will discuss donating to the TenBroek, White Cane, Sun, and Jernigan funds. The TenBroek fund is for the national office in Baltimore, White Cane is for NFB publications and media, Sun is essentially an emergency/rainy day fund, and Jernigan is for sending first-timers to the 2021 national convention, in this case. I also want to make sure that everyone has membership coins, especially those who joined the chapter recently. If you do not have one, please let me know. From my understanding, there is also a new member packet that you should receive via the mail, as well as a series of weekly e-mails directed to new members. I did not know that this was the case until a couple weeks ago, but I want to make sure that those who have not received the aforementioned materials receive them. Please find the call-in info for our meeting below.

Obviously, there's no pressure if you are not able to or comfortable. I would be happy to host at my apartment, in less someone else would rather host. Was thinking I would order pizza and those in attendance could either chip in, or we could use some of our chapter funds if we would rather go that route. I still have a bunch of paper plates and plastic silverware that belong to the chapter, as leftover from state convention. Also have a nice speaker for hearing the banquet loud and clear. I appreciate any thoughts that you may have. Please let me know if you may be open to this. I don't want to overcrowd the place, but thinking probably no more than eight people total, including myself. The banquet is the final highlight of the convention, so I am encouraging all of you to listen in, even if you are not able to attend.

It sounds like a great idea to spend time together during convention! I?m definitely in! I look forward to seeing whoever can make it! Only thing that would change my attending is if virus numbers start going up again locally and we need to go back to a stricter quarantine. I sure hope that doesn?t happen! Thank you Jason! PS: if anyone lives near Jason & needs a ride I?m happy to help out!
